NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Focus Financial Partners, LLC (‘Focus’), the leading international
partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms, today
announces that its partner firm FFO, a premier multi-family office and
business management firm serving ultra-wealthy individuals, families and
their advisors, completed two merger deals as of September 1, 2015.
These mergers, the first deals for FFO since its launch in 2014, will
almost double the firm’s size and enhance its ability to serve its
clients, making it a premier bi-coastal multi-family office and business
management firm in the United States.

“From the very beginning we have had tremendous confidence in the
success of the family office model and we believe these mergers will
help FFO further enhance its offering to ultra-high-net-worth clients
and accelerate its growth to fully benefit from the market opportunity”

“We have known both firms for several years and our shared
entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to client services made this a
natural decision on all sides,” said Rick Flynn, managing partner at
FFO. “Our partnership with Focus has been instrumental to our success
over the past year and the growth we’ve achieved made possible by the
strong foundations they have helped us put in place, along with access
to capital and M&A expertise they’ve provided us. We are proud to work
alongside an entrepreneurial, growth-focused firm like Focus.”

“From the very beginning we have had tremendous confidence in the
success of the family office model and we believe these mergers will
help FFO further enhance its offering to ultra-high-net-worth clients
and accelerate its growth to fully benefit from the market opportunity,”
said Rudy Adolf, founder and CEO of Focus.

Joseph McNulty joins FFO as Partner, from The McNulty Group, a
New York-based family office that specializes in tax advisory services
and accounting. Mr. McNulty and his team will advise FFO clients on
strategic tax solutions while continuing to serve their existing
clients, who will in turn benefit from expanded services offered by FFO.
The merger will not only strengthen FFO’s tax offering, but will also
continue to expand the firm’s brand among professional sports players,
owners and teams.

Lawrence Rudolph joins FFO as Executive Director, from Capell
Rudolph, a renowned business management firm in Los Angeles. In his new
role, Mr. Rudolph will lead FFO’s operations and business development
activity in California, driving the firm’s efforts to grow its existing
footprint in California. Mr. Rudolph provides a wide range of business
management and family office services to a select group of high net
worth individuals in the entertainment industry. Additionally, this
merger fortifies Mr. Rudolph’s ability to best serve his clients by
adding additional resources and expertise.
